These programs focus on the latest scientific and technological advances and practical applications of the popular field-to-fork concept within this thriving industry. Following completion from either two-year program, graduates will have the advantage they need when entering these in-demand fields.

If the outdoors aren’t for you, the college’s Centre for Food (CFF) offers two-year programs in both Hospitality Management and Special Events Planning, allowing students an opportunity to take on an entrepreneurial role following graduation. Through a variety of courses, hands-on practice and internships, students will have the opportunity to hone their skills and meet the needs within these fast-paced and exciting fields.

These four programs also have diploma-to-degree opportunities through a number of colleges and universities across the country and around the world for those interested in earning a bachelor’s degree after graduation or later on in their career.
